Jury Duty Warrant Calls Are Fake

The Wasco County Sheriff’s Office reports some residents are receiving phone calls from a man who says they have warrants for their arrest for failing to show up for jury duty.  According to the Sheriff’s Office, the number the calls come from is 541-980-1361, and the person claims his name is Lt. Jones or William Ramsey with the “warrants division.”  Neither the Wasco County Sheriff’s Office or The Dalles Police Department has a “warrants division” and the calls are not being made by law enforcement, and officers would not call residents to inform them if they have warrants.  Do not respond to the calls if you receive them, and anyone who might have information about who is making these calls should call the Wasco County Sheriff’s Office at 541-296-5454.
